Hello!
Recently I had built myself a simple computer. And upon installing Windows 8.1, the OS (Windows 8.1) had been experimenting A LOT of freezes and crashes.
The case doesn't seem to apply to the BIOS/UEFI of the computer though, which I believe take out the possibility of a motherboard failure(?).
There's no certain action to when the freeze may occur, whether it may be idle, creating new window, or downloading a file, though the chances tend to rise when opening a program. And for the crashes, most of the time it's performing a certain action such as running a program or initiating a install.
I'm fairly certain that all Windows updates are installed, and drivers for the motherboard and GPU had also been installed.
All wires should have been wired correctly, though here's a photo of what the UEFI showed me.

Here are the specs of my computer, if it would help:
Motherboard: ASRock 970 pro3 R2.0
CPU: AMD FX 6300 (AM3+ socket)
CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro Series H60
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 750Ti FTW with 2GB DDR5 RAM
RAM: Dual 4GB Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR3 1600MHz
HDD/SSD: WD Blue 1TB + Kingston 120GB SSD
PSU: Corsair CS 550 M
Thanks for anyone who comments a possible solution!
